Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

大卫的诗，交与伶长。 耶和华啊，王必因你的能力欢喜； 因你的救恩，他的快乐何其大！

2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

他心里所愿的，你已经赐给他； 他嘴唇所求的，你未尝不应允。 (细拉)

3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

你以美福迎接他， 把精金的冠冕戴在他头上。

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

他向你求寿，你便赐给他， 就是日子长久，直到永远。

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

他因你的救恩大有荣耀； 你又将尊荣威严加在他身上。

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

你使他有洪福，直到永远， 又使他在你面前欢喜快乐。

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

王倚靠耶和华， 因至高者的慈爱必不摇动。

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

你的手要搜出你的一切仇敌； 你的右手要搜出那些恨你的人。

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

你发怒的时候，要使他们如在炎热的火炉中。 耶和华要在他的震怒中吞灭他们； 那火要把他们烧尽了。

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [among] the sons of men.

你必从世上灭绝他们的子孙， 从人间灭绝他们的后裔。

11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

因为他们有意加害于你； 他们想出计谋，却不能作成。

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

你必使他们转背逃跑， 向他们的脸搭箭在弦。

13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.

耶和华啊，愿你因自己的能力显为至高！ 这样，我们就唱诗，歌颂你的大能。
